Ardhya-Matsyendrasana (Right Profile)Ardhya-Matsyendrasana (Left Profile)Procedure: At first this may seem a bit complicated - but this is an excellent exercise for those hard to get rid of love handles. Sit erect with your legs straightened out. Then fold the right leg across & behind your left thigh so that the right heel touches the floor. The right legs looks like an inverted "V". Fold your left leg all along the floor so that the left heel touches the right buttock. Bring the left arm over the right knee and place the left palm on the left knee. Cross your right hand behind your back and touch the left groin from behind. Gently twist the head, neck and upper body towards the right. Hold on to this posture for 20-30 seconds, then take rest in Shavasana (Corpse Posture). Do the above alternately with left and right parts of your body. Repeat thrice.

Cures/Relieves: Lethargy, Nervousness, Back pain,  Neck pain, Spinal defects, Constipation, Wind, Love Handles.
